SquidCam is a video chat application intended for use with broadband connections. It enables you to have a conversation with one or more people using SquidCam over a network (LAN and/or Internet) connection. SquidCam features audio and video connectivity, as well as text messaging, all without the need of a special service. Feature highlights include:

A convenient, hands-free audio setup
Extremely low latency compared to other video and VoIP applications
No user limits: converse with as many people as your connection can handle
LANcast mode for multi-person conferences over a local network
Compatibility with hundreds of audio and video input devices (incl. USB and FireWire)
Audio output device selection: chat using a headset while playing iTunes through your speakers
Text messaging
Your gateway to free long distance
No advertisements, no monthly service fees, no hassle

The SquidCam client can communicate with other SquidCam clients regardless of what platform (OS X or Windows) is currently in use:

OS XWindows
WindowsWindows
OS XOS X

SquidCam is fully comptaible with dictation software, such as iListen from MacSpeech, Inc. We highly recommend this software if you require speech-to-text services (e.g. hands-free text communication with a deaf friend/client).

Requirements:
Any Macintosh computer running MacOS X (minimum of 10.1.5 recommended; compatible with MacOS X 10.2) or Windows (Win2k or WinXP recommended) with access to a TCP/IP (LAN and/or Internet) connection. A microphone and camera are not necessary, but obviously allow you to send audio and video during your communications session. At this time, SquidCam will only communicate with other SquidCam clients.

What's New:
1.6.1 is a maintenance release
